No Pain, No Gain

“To me, pain is a treasure…I know that on my own I can accomplish nothing. Pain makes me dependent on God for everything. It keeps me with Jesus. It is a gift, a kind of security that keeps me from becoming proud and arrogant or from taking credit for what God is doing.”

For Reflection: 

How does Mother Angelica’s statement help me “reframe” my own pain or suffering? Does it keep me with Jesus? How and in what ways?
